Prayer

"O God, to Whose commands
all the elements give obedience,
we humbly entreat You,
that the stilling of fearsome storms
may turn a powerful viral menace
into an occasion for us to praise you.
Through our lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever."
